If we had any ham...
... we could have ham and eggs. If we had any eggs.
This critique of the right is, of course, right -- but it begs the real question. If the GOP could drain its media swamp, it would be a completely different animal. It is a creature of that swamp.

Every. Single. Word
Rebecca Traister nails it. There are too many money quotes to quote, but the punchline is especially perfect -- that Trump's campaign is to "make America hate again."

The hits... - updated
... just... keep... on... comin'. And comin'. And comin'.
Update: Nate Silver's polls-only odds have gone up, like, a point an hour today (Oct. 3)! On July 30, their chances were separated by two-tenths of a percentage point. Today, Hillary's chances of winning are 71.8% to Trump's 28.2%... with the second debate still to come, and Trump is full meltdown mode. Nice.
Update 2: Keeps on keepin' on. 76.2 on Oct. 5. And the prospects are delicious.
Update 3: Another day, another bump -- and the promise of more. Now 78.4 on Oct. 6.
Update 4: 79.3 on Oct. 7. Can't wait for the debate to harden this trajectory.
Update 5: Cracks 80 -- and this is before the grope video and Sunday's debate are factored in. Is this the start of a landslide?
Update 6: Could well be.
Update 7: On Oct. 11, it's now 84%.
Update 8: Maybe this is wishful thinking... but when you wish upon a star -- including those who can grab pussy anytime they want -- sometimes your dreams come true.
And yes, by the way, who the hell grabs pussy?
Update 9: Thursday morning, Oct. 13 -- 86.8%, with a bullet.
However, this.
Update 10: Also, I'm confused. A poll comes in showing Hillary up by 10 in Oregon... and the 538 average drops by a percent? The mysteries of algorithms...
Update 11: It keeps not being the blowout one wishes, but with every passing day, it also becomes clearer this is in the bag. Oct. 19: 87.4%. And the Senate is now shaping up very nicely. If this holds, she'll have a real majority there.
Update 12: I guess it's good if the election has plateaued at 85-86% closer and closer to Election Day -- but it's dispiriting that the third debate didn't cause the bottom to fall out for Trump. Anyway, don't look gift horses in the mouth, and all that.
